Latest Acquisitions

[sith jawa]

Recent addition for the jawa collection.

There are four layers to the sticker and used to test the color (overlay). The back is blank.

I knw you guys have seen these items already but i wanted to show you my display technique. The acrylic tray is the one i bought from Paul Moss as advertised in the ebay section. I then bought some foam board and covered it in some really cool shiny silver material.

What do you think?????

Steve

P.S. I am waiting for one more item to arrive - hopefully by next weekend and then i will be taking some new pics of the collection.

Steve - I am loving that new case - I'll have to get the makers details from you. Re the background personally I would have choosen some felt just for added protection for that beautiful TT HC.

Jason - nice pick up on the Topps card, 'suppose it must becoming quite difficult to add to your Jawa hoard nowadays!

Great stuff everyone - hopefully within a week or so I'll be able to add to this thread again - been a little slow on the self-aquisition front recently

Cheers,
Christian

Steve, is that case closed? If so I'd go with Christian too and use felt (black or hooker red) ...
Really like the look of it, please reveal the seller

Cheers,

Martijn

@Spoons - i decided to put the mat in the bottom to help show off the items. It goes into my glass display cases (sheves are also glass) so it needs something.

@Christian & Martijn - the case is not closed. The seller is a guy called Paul Moss who made the acrylic case. I contacted him yesterday to make some plate stand type things so i can display my proof cards (in oscars proof cases - they dont stand up very well). See the link below for his details. I then made the inlay. It is foamboard with the silver material - it is quite thick like felt so i am comfortable that it is going to give some protection to these rare items.

SithJawa - Cool Jawa sticker mate.

Steve - I think a yellow background colour like the yellow behind the Chewie figure on a 12 back card would look awesome mate but thats just my humble opinion.

Steve,

I like the case, but think the background color should be different. For some reason, silver does not look right. Maybe black or even a light gray (smokey gray).


Christian,

Unfortunately, I would agree. Not much available that I do not have. Guess it is time to let it all go.. :mrgreen:

 

[Stargeezer]

Cool Jawa sticker.

@ Steve why don't you try a yellow background (kinda the colour off the background on a chewie 12back), this will make him stand out more. Any i love the idea, but it just needs to be improved a bit more.

@Jason Nice addition for the Jawa focus.

@Steve I like the display idea. Going from the picture, I would agree about the background, but it might look better once you have it on your display shelf surrounded by your other Wookies. I look forward to seeing a pic with the rest of the focus.

Don't ask why these turned up in my mailbox, funny looking variations:

Those are all a bunch of fakes. You don't want any of those in your collection. Best to send them my way. :lol:

Looks like a great bunch of bootlegs you have there.

 

[aussiejames]

I can't find info about which weapon goes with what. I suppose the Polish kids didn't care their figures were all the wrong colours, they weren't going to care about what guns they got

 

[Grant]

HI James,

Quality bootlegs. They look to be in nice condition.

Great looking vc jawa mate!

 

[weasel]

got my White Skinny Droid today - much obliged joe

Spoons, I know winter is comin in and your looking to stock pile a few things to lob on the fire when it gets cold, but surely a few logs would have been cheaper (and would burn a lot longer) than an 8D8 MOC!?
I can't think of any other reason you'd buy it! :lol:

 

[aussiejames]

"And yet another VC Jawa" :shock: you make me sick

 

[shawn_k]

Nice VC Jawa Andy. I knew it was beginning to feel like it had been too long since someone added one.

 

[Grant]

Andy - Awesome VCJ mate and Bib Fortuna
looks quality too.
